Summary
Jason Yoon is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in design systems with 11 years of experience building product-led, growth-focused platforms in the Bay Area. He has led technical scaling and workflow initiatives at Asana and now applies that expertise to design systems at Figma, bridging product, UX, and engineering. His background spans full-stack growth work—experimentation, SEO, and automation at Yelp—to API and frontend improvements early in his career, giving him a pragmatic end-to-end perspective. Known for turning complex organizational requirements into scalable engineering patterns, he has led both hands-on implementation and team-level process scaling. Based in San Francisco and grounded in a CS degree from UCLA, he combines product sensibility with a knack for operationalizing design and workflow at scale. A less obvious strength is his consistent career thread of improving developer ergonomics and automation to accelerate cross-functional delivery.
